Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and disclosed by the developer ("we", "us", or "our") when you use the Boardgame Master application (the "App"). This App is developed and published by an individual developer.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in data minimization and only collect what is strictly necessary to provide and improve our services.

A. Automatically Collected Information

When you access or use the App, we or our third-party service providers may automatically collect certain information about your device, including:

Device identifiers (such as Advertising ID like Apple IDFA or Google AAID).
Device information (such as operating system version, device manufacturer, and model).
IP address and general location data (derived from IP address).
Usage data and crash reports.

B. Information You Provide to Us

If you choose to contact us for support via email, your email client may automatically include basic diagnostic information (such as App version, OS version, and device model) in the email body. We only use this information to help troubleshoot and respond to your request. We do not collect or store this data on our servers automatically.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

To provide, maintain, and improve the App and its features.
To serve personalized and non-personalized advertisements (via AppLovin MAX).
To process in-app purchases and manage your premium status (via RevenueCat).
To read and respond to your feedback or customer support requests.
To analyze usage trends, identify bugs, and fix crashes.

3. Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you or provide core functionalities. Below are the third-party service providers used in the App:

Firebase Analytics: We use Firebase Analytics (provided by Google) to collect anonymous usage data to understand how users interact with our App. This helps us optimize performance, identify bugs, and improve the user experience. You can learn more by visiting Firebase Privacy Policy.
AppLovin: We use AppLovin MAX to display advertisements and support the ongoing development of the App. AppLovin and its advertising partners may use device identifiers, cookies, and other tracking technologies to serve ads based on your interests. You can learn more about how AppLovin uses your information by visiting AppLovin's Privacy Policy.
RevenueCat: We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases, subscriptions, and verify your premium status cross-platform. RevenueCat may collect purchase history and subscription status associated with an anonymous app user ID. We do not process, collect, or store your payment details (such as credit card numbers); these are securely handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We encourage you to review RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

4. In-App Purchases

If you choose to use our premium features (such as removing ads), the purchase process and financial transactions are handled entirely by the respective app stores (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) and their payment gateways. We do not have access to, nor do we store, your personal financial information.

5. Your Choices and Advertising Opt-Out

You can opt out of interest-based advertising or reset your device's advertising identifier through your device's system settings:

iOS Devices: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and toggle off "Allow Apps to Request to Track" for this App. Alternatively, you can manage personalized ads via Apple Advertising settings.
Android Devices: Go to Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization (or choose "Delete advertising ID" on newer versions).

6. Data Security and Retention

We value your trust in providing us your information and strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. Any data collected is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or comply with legal obligations. Note that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or higher age threshold based on applicable local laws, such as 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children without verifiable parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to perform necessary actions to delete it.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after we post any modifications will constitute your acknowledgment of the modifications and your consent to abide by the updated Privacy Policy.

9. Contact Us

If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us by emailing [email protected], or by reaching out to the developer directly through the contact details provided on our App Store / Google Play Store page.
